Just yesterday, Hope, a tiger oscar that I had adopted passed away. But this was no ordinary Oscar, she was recued by me, and she had previosly been beaten up by two texas cichlids. Sadly, I was just a day too late. She would have died sooner in her other home, but I feel like I gave her more than just a second chance, but a taste of the good life, whith no bullies, good food, and a good place to live. She had been recovering from HITH as well as severe scale loss. It seemed like she was going to make an amazing comeback, but looks like I jinxed her. God knows why she hung on to life for those long 3 months I had her... But maybe it was to get that taste of the good life, and she would not let go until she had it. God bless you Hope. I'll miss you.Posted via Mobile Device

I understand losing a fish to something horrible like that, and I understand how painful it can be. But she sounds like she really knew how good she had it in the past months she lived with you and made the most of it. May she RIP

Awww. I'm sorry! I have owned Oscars so I know what she must have been like. They are like puppies. do you have any pics of her to share with us? I would love to see her. RIP Hope. Thank you for taking care of her for the 3 months you had her!!
